I know it is annoying to have to read a whole preamble before a thing, but I know the deal. You are on the internet.

It has been a struggle to get even this far.

And so I wanted to set your expectations.

Hello.

Which is to say: this isn’t a game.

And don’t worry about what you are supposed to do. It is all very clear. You’ll be receiving and reading emails, filling out some surveys, corresponding with a few people.

Welcome to the team!

by Matthew Latkiewicz

Welcome to the team! is an immersive short story.

What that means is

You experience the story through the web, your email, and your phone

It will take place over about 10 days

I imagine you’ll spend about 20 minutes a day with it

It won’t matter when those 20 minutes are

Be warned: this version is very rough.

I am still developing the story, but you can get a preview and sign up to be notified when it launches. Just click or tap the “Preview the story” button below and there will be a signup form on the following page.

Hopefully, this sounds intriguing and you are on board.

The first thing you’ll hit after this preamble is a website for a fake startup. Think of it like chapter one.

Explore the website. It will lead you to sign up for something. If you want chapter two, then you should sign up.

Oh and, while there are references to “accessing your data” in the story, Welcome to the team! doesn’t actually access anything.
